Identification and functional characterisation of genes and corresponding enzymes involved in carnitine metabolism of Proteus sp.

Enzymes involved in carnitine metabolism of Proteus sp. are encoded by the cai genes organised as the caiTABCDEF operon. The complete operon could be sequenced from the genomic DNA of Proteus sp.

Effect of salt stress on crotonobetaine and D(+)-carnitine biotransformation into L(-)-carnitine by resting cells of Escherichia coli.

The biotransformation of crotonobetaine and D(+)-carnitine into L(-)-carnitine is affected by salt stress in the resting cells of E. coli O44 K74 and the transformed E. coli K38 pT7-5KE32.

Screening for soluble methane monooxygenase in methanotrophic bacteria using combined molecular and biochemical methods for hydroxylase detection.

Three well known methanotrophic bacteria (Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b, Methylocystis sp. WI 14, and Methylocystis sp. GB 25) and three newly isolated methanotrophic bacteria (Methylocystis sp.
